I'm looking to build the following MythTV setup - please let me know if I'm on the right track.  

Computer: Dell GX 240 (1.7GHz)    512MB Ram     160GB HD   OS: Fedora (just downloaded today)

I'm looking to buy a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR350 to get the remote and receiver and a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR150 MCE with 2 catv inputs. Will the CPU handle the encoding of 3 inputs considering that the 350 model is supposed to do brainwork on the card instead of the CPU?  Can I use the 150 to get the remote (or that doesn't include a receiver i guess) and don't need the 350?  I need to keep costs down as low as possible or my wife won't let me do this  ;)  I see newegg.com has decent prices.  

What do I need to connect to the TV?  I think the PVR 350 or even the 150 have TV out on them?  Or do I need to buy a video card with TV out?  

I'd like to build a basic box and then eventually build separate client and server systems. 

Thanks!
